Helenomics 

Taking tax dollars from lower and middle income folks in order to fund massive construction projects that benefit the well connected wealthy. In turn the well connected wealthy make sizeable political contributions to the politician in question.
The theory of Helenomics was created by Helen Shiller, the alderman of the 46th Ward of Chicago - you skim $125,000,000 in incremental property tax revenue from the county's coffers to build low, very low, and extremely low income housing projects, giving the government contracts to your cronies and friends, who then turn around and donate large sums of money back into your political campaigns.

heronomics 

This is where a villager steps up and steps in to defend the village from dragons, becoming a hero, is paid accordingly, receives recognition, status and marries the fairest maiden. The hero isn't nominated by the king but knows at least one villager will bring it upon themselves to do what's right. The king relies upon heronomics to fund the protection of the realm rather than budget for enough knights to defend all of the villages.

In the corporate world, product gaps are covered in a similar manner.
One exec to another: "Yeah I know our product doesn't handle everything our customer wants, but we know our field team will step up, heronomics will take care of it so we don't have to plan that out."

Shackteâu

A Shackteau is a humble, weather-beaten, structurally questionable shelter located in a spectacular or highly coveted place—Wales, Jackson Hole, Sun Valley, Crested Butte, coastal Maine, the Alps—where the building itself may be worth almost nothing, but the dirt, view, access, and mythology make it absurdly valuable.
In use:
Shackteâu - We thought it was an abandoned shed until the realtor called it a rare alpine Shackteâu with unobstructed views and listed it for $2 million.
